§ Mr. John GarrettTo ask the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, representing the House of Commons Commission, if he will set out the educational qualifications of staff in the Clerk's Department of the House of Commons showing, for the graduates, degree subject and university or college attended.
§ Mr. BeithMuch of the information requested is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The educational qualifications required of Clerk of the House Department staff on entry to the service are broadly in line with those required of analogous grades in other Departments of the House and in the civil service.
